Hidden Clue in Dying Light: The Beast Trailer Points to Game's Location

In a clever twist, Dying Light franchise game director Timon Smektala revealed a hidden detail in the first trailer for Dying Light: The Beast. This secret clue, subtly embedded within the video's text, points to the game's setting: the vast Castor Woods. Deciphering this barely visible text might even unlock clues about the local dialect, potentially serving as the key to solving the location puzzle.

While speculation points towards a European setting, the exact location remains a mystery. The trailer showcases various architectural and environmental details, yet players are still struggling to pinpoint the specific reference. Previous Dying Light games have drawn inspiration from real-world locations—Harran (in the original game) was inspired by Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor (in the sequel) blended architectural elements from Germany, Belgium, and Poland.

Dying Light: The Beast is slated for release this summer on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, though a specific date hasn't been announced. This year marks the franchise's tenth anniversary, and Techland is celebrating with special updates, events, and a commemorative video thanking fans for their continued support.
